Vitor Roque seems to be set to complete a transfer Far from Barcelona this week, also reducing his loan to Real Betis in the process.
Roque failed to be up to the media threshing that presented him as Barcelona’s response to Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo last season, arriving in Catalonia in January 2024 at the age of 18.
The young Brazilian could not order significant playing time under Xavi and chose to continue a loan outing rather than risking staying away under the replacement coach Hansi Flick.
But his fate in Betis was also not unleashed success, producing only four Liga goals in 22 appearances, with starting opportunities that suddenly dried a few weeks ago after Antony and January captures and Cucho Hernandez. Now, it seems that it will be a new start for the former Paranainese player, at home in Brazil with Palmeiras.
A proposed decision has been preparing for a large part of February. SPORT Write that the talks between Barça, Betis and Palmeiras are underway to finalize the question, but Roque seems to have already played his last match for Betis as long as there are no unexpected problems.
The Catalan publication adds that the documentation required for Roque to become a Palmeiras player should be ready at some point on Monday. The teenager should go to Brazil at the start of this week so that a transfer can be completed as soon as possible.
Roque is set at the cost of Palmeiras an amount of 25 million euros, only a slight loss on the initial expenses of 30 million euros in Barcelona – the player did not trigger a myriad of additional modules which could have doubled the price. This amount will be payable by the end of June, Barça will also retain 20% sales costs for the future.
A driver behind the Movement of Palmeiras de Roque is the club’s desire to be competitive during the first World Cup of the FIFA FIFA FIFA club in summer. Flamengo was also linked to veterans circles Jorginho and Casemiro before the Brazilian transfer date at the end of the month, although none of the prosecution seems to be advanced enough to become reality at this stage.
